    I first started training back in mid February. I met Aaron at the Kebun Baru Community Club Gymmboxx in hopes to be inspired & to have someone who would guide me into a healthier lifestyle. When I first started training with Aaron, I was 122kg with no motivation whatsoever. I had the desire to lose weight but lacked the necessary mindset to do so. With Aaron, he constantly pushed me & encouraged me to consistently keep up my progress & emphasised that patience is important. Rome wasn’t built in a day. He constantly emphasised on how important it is to develop a lion mentality. As I’m typing this today, I now weigh 24kg lesser at 95kg, reaching our very first milestone together. No words will be enough to express my gratitude to Aaron. He has given me an opportunity towards a better, fitter & healthier lifestyle. With his constant guidance, I’m sure anyone under his tutelage will benefit tremendously. Here's a before and after photo which Is the results of the goal I have when I step into GymmBoxx beginning of 2021.

    Decent gymm for an old neighborhood and joined for 2 years when open. Will be very convenient when MRT is up can be very crowded on weekdays evening and some will horde the equipment.

    Gym and facilities are OK but the management is horrible and rude. Don't ever join this gym or this chain. 1. They let you sign a 6-month contract without knowing that the Kebun Bahru gym will be closing down in 4 months. The convenient excuse is that they have other outlets in Singapore. 2. Signed a PT package previously and had many PT issues. My PT changed like 3 times. The only solution they offer is to give you a new PT. You pay so much, but they are not concerned about your fitness or growth. Now, they refused to offer a refund as they said that they had already offered a new PT to me. 3. These issues have been discussed for months and still not resolved. 4. Conclusion, they are only concerned about money and once you have paid them, they do not care anymore.

    Upsides: • Excellent and sufficient gym equipment from power racks to free-weights and cardio machines •Friendly staff as always with all Gymboxx outlets •Well-maintained and cleaned environment and equipment. • Cozy environment/ studio gym feel with sufficient privacy. Downsides: •Suboptimal ventilation: gym could have improved ventilation and the air is heavy with scented air freshener • Cluttered layout: space is filled with equipment set too closely to each other particularly around the dumbbell rack •Environment: relatively loud music from a repetitively short playlist makes listening to your own music on a certain volume a must •People: most of the gym goers there are regulars so if you befriend them you’ll fit in nicely in no time.

    I had 30 min to blow off steam and I only use the elliptical trainer machine. Lucky me, the only machine was not popular. There are treadmills and weights etc. It's a small and cosy place. The shower room looks clean and dry. There was only one staff when I went and he was friendly and helpful. I like that he didn't try to sell me their membership, which other gyms might do so.

    Really like the location of KBCC Gymboxx. Although it is small but they have mostly everything. Place is clean. Staffs (Afaa and Elfyan) have been really friendly and warm which make the gym a nice place to exercise in!

    It's a very new 24 hours Gym located on the 2nd floor of the community club. It's smaller compared to the Bedok and Bishan one, but it's well equipped with power racks, Smith machine, bench press, leg press and cable station machines to train all parts of the body. There's are cardio machines such as threadmill and stationary bikes as well. Shower facilities included for both male and female.

  • 5/5 afrina f. 2 years ago on Google
    Love gymboxx kebun baru as it is efficient for me to travel to! The people there are also very kind and welcoming. I also signed up for a personal trainer at kebun baru gymboxx, Aaron. Every session with him is fantastic as there is a balance of fun as well as focus. During the days where i can’t perform well he wouldn’t push me to continue the session which allows me to not feel pressurised in this weight loss journey. Pressure would just make me feel like i should give up easily but so far i see myself constantly looking forward to it! i also look forward to eating healthy everyday all thanks to Aarons knowledge and advise. he is very encouraging, supportive and knowledgable. Highly recommend! :)

    A relatively small gym, but it is new, clean and has the main machines that you need. A very good selection of free weights as well, all the way down to 1KG :) The big draw for me would be the per entry system. You don't have to pay a monthly subscription. Just pay at the door and gain entry. $5 per entry during off peak hours (Mon - Fri 0700 to 1500) $7 for peak (all other hours)

    I joined Gymmboxx for 6 months and often came to the Kebun Baru outlet. Pros: Really friendly staff, clean facilities and the equipment was quite varied. Busy during peak hours but that's true of any gym :) I always enjoyed my workout there. Con: They're extremely hard to reach. They have no phone number for you to call, and don't reply promptly to WhatsApp messages (the only means of communicating directly with them). I thought I left an important personal belonging at the gym and messaged them multiple times on WhatsApp and through the Instagram account to request that they check. It took them nearly two days to respond to me for what I thought was a simple matter (e.g. checking lost and found and looking through a small gym). If there was a way to just call them it would be way easier! I also messaged them on 8 March regarding an issue with my card, where I wasn't able to enter the gym. They said they would get back to me after checking with their ops team and never did! Thankfully my gym membership ended a few days later. Five stars for the excellent staff and actual gym experience but one star for lack of communication :(

    *Don't ever do a full yearly payment with gymmboxx* Purchased the gymmboxx annual membership in Feb/march. They closed the CS branch and offered to refund unused amount to customers or a 1-for-1 on remaining subscription period. Chose the refund option, forced to pay a $120 admin fee on top of the refund amount (which was later reduced to $80 because of massive customer complains). Requested for transparency on the refund admin fee charge, and they just ignored. It's not about the $80, but the integrity. It's not about the $80, but the integrity. Given the "option" to either agree with the refund amount before they process the refund, or not get a refund at all. (What's the point of requesting a written word of agreement if you're not giving your customers a choice?) Still have not resolved this issue after months. Please don't run a service-based business in SG if you plan to leverage on customers. ADDING ON My gf also signed up for the membership, and this is the first and only gym that requires a payment of 21++/mth if you wish to freeze your membership for a month. AND they don't pro-rate if you wish to freeze it for less than a full month. I am currently using another gym and and had requested to freeze mine for 3/4 month due to work travel reasons. They did it unconditionally and without additional cost. I've read the company's response to other similar complains on Google reviews with regards to the closure & refund and it really irks me to read such ingenuine and unfactual apologies.

    Overall, it is a comprehensive gym centre. It is clean and cosy with helpful staff. However, I would like to highlight something that I observed (not related to equipment or staff). I observed that some people like to use their mobile while hogging on equipment (as in they occupy a station while using mobile). This resulted other people not being able to use the station. Hope the management able to put up notice to remind users not to hog on station.

    I am writing this review to bring to your attention regarding the unethical practices and inconvenience experienced by members of Gymm Boxx, particularly in relation to their recent outlet closures and refund policies. On 24th February 2021, I enthusiastically signed up for a membership with Gymm Boxx at their Bedok Point outlet, which was conveniently located just 1 kilometer away from my residence. The proximity to my home played a significant role in my decision to join the gym, as it allowed me to easily incorporate fitness into my daily routine. However, my positive experience was short-lived when Gymm Boxx abruptly closed their Bedok Point outlet in May 2022. Members were instructed to visit their Century Square outlet in Tampines, which was approximately 5 kilometers away from my home. Despite the inconvenience, I, like many other members, decided to cooperate with the management's request, trusting that they would find a suitable replacement in the Bedok area. In January 2023, when my membership was due for renewal, I chose to extend it during a promotional period. To my dismay, in April 2023, Gymm Boxx announced the closure of their Century Square outlet. This time, members were presented with two options, both of which were far from satisfactory. The first option required us to travel over 15 kilometers to their Ci Yuan outlet in Hougang, which would take more than an hour using public transportation. Alternatively, members could opt for a refund of the unused portion of their membership, but were subjected to a so-called "processing fee" initially set at $120. The fee was later reduced to $80 following significant backlash. However, it remains unjustifiable to penalize members for requesting a refund due to circumstances beyond their control. Adding to the frustration, Gymm Boxx lacks a reachable phone number for customer inquiries, leaving email as the only means of communication. Regrettably, their response time to these emails is excessively long, sometimes taking up to three weeks. This lack of prompt and effective communication has only amplified the grievances of members who are seeking clarification and resolution. It is utterly unreasonable and impractical to expect members to travel great distances to access alternative outlets, especially when the closures are not the result of any fault on their part. The inconveniences and financial penalties imposed on members seeking refunds are highly unethical, indicative of a disregard for customer satisfaction and a breach of trust. Therefore, I urge all of you, to seriously reconsider signing up or renewing a gym membership with Gymm Boxx. Their practices demonstrate a lack of transparency, fairness, and empathy towards their valued members. We, as consumers/gym members, have the right to expect ethical treatment and reasonable solutions when faced with unforeseen circumstances such as outlet closures. By supporting establishments that prioritize customer well-being and satisfaction, we can collectively advocate for fair and accountable practices within the fitness industry. I hope that you will take my review into consideration and make an informed decision regarding your gym membership. 26th Sep'23 Update Just got an email from the gym today that unless I agree to the $80 admin fee, they will not refund me the money. They are making up the T&C as they go along. This is blackmail and highly unethical!!

    Gymmboxx at kebun baru is my frequently visited gym location because of its convenience! The equipments are always in good conditions and well arranged by the staff. I am very familiar with the gym here and can’t find any gymmboxx that is more convenient than kebun baru near my home

    Decent gym facilities for the cosy space occupying the corner of the 2nd floor of the community centre. Staff rostered varies daily, so expect different levels of customer service. It can get claustrophic during peak hours with the spacing limitations.

  • 5/5 Clifton K. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best gymmboxx around despite its small size. Has all the gym facilities that you need for a good workout session

  • 2/5 Calvin 4 years ago on Google
    Really small and inaccessible. The staff were all over the equipment cleaning few inches away from me. All this while I was working out isnt exactly the best experience. The other GYMMBOXX outlets definitely trumps this

  • 3/5 Robert H. 1 year ago on Google
    Basic range of gym equipment. My gripe is that the radio is played so you have to bring your own headphones or earpieces if you don't want to listen to people talking during your workout. Also if you come at 9/10AM the cleaner starts vacuuming for an hour, which is annoying too as the vacuum is loud and can be heard through your headphones.

    Neighbourhood gym, clean, well-lit, equipment is well maintained, private and clean toilet, convenient to travel by bike as we can park the bike right outside the gym. The space is not too big so its better to come during off-peak hours to have better access on the equipment. The trainer Aaron is committed, friendly, attentive, and really looking into your weak points and focusing to improve them. He'll even look into your diet and give you homework assignment to do when he's away.
